Description of key information
A preliminary flammability screening test was performed by igniting a loosely-packed linear pile of terephthalic acid (TPA). Combustion self-extinguished after 218 seconds and without propagating 200 mm along the pile. According to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, terephthalic acid is therefore not classified as a readily combustible solid of Division 4.1 and further flammability testing is not required.

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
